Sites to help:
RhymeZone.com
Thesaurus.com
Merriam-Webster.com Use this site for syllables. I’ve used several online counters and too many have given different counts for the same word, so I use the dictionary now. Also, in some parts of the English speaking world, the syllables may come out in the spoken language a bit differently. And that’s okay. Write to enjoy, too learn, and yes, try to get the syllables right, but above all create and enjoy.

A Decima Poetic Plea to A Hesitant Friend
One hesitates to come off trite,
to lecture you with thoughts banal,
but there are times in life’s canal
to draw a line, to shine a light.
I do not claim to be so bright
that I know what one ought to do
but this time, yes, my words ring true.
The variant is out to kill
and careless who it renders still.
My friend, death will not become you.
